no worries :) I'm kind of interested, because lack of trust in microphones/cameras specifically on laptops is a theme I've seen commonly expressed by people in general IT and IT security.
My thinking on the subject was roughly that for an attacker to have the ability to spy on me via that mechanism would strongly imply that they already have privileged access to my computer (to be able to active the device and exfiltrate the data).
At that point, personally, I'm far more worried about the data they'd get from my keyboard (specifically credentials for various systems) than I am about them being able to see me sit at a desk.
Many people don't have high powered credentials on their work computers and have safer personal use devices. Eg Windows work laptop from corporate IT vs iOS personal devices.
Another type of user keeps confidential stuff out of networked computers and the cloud entirely.
